I remembered back in the day cruising around different chat room on mIRC and getting kicked and banned with the message Potty Mouth for saying "it's a bit chilly" about the weather.... Took me so long to work out their shit filter picked up (bit ch)illy
- Now I'm nostalgic for IRC.
- At an old, job our systems couldn't accept Scunthorpe as a location. Always got a chuckle.
Reminds me of old XBL trolling where people set their in game name to "Xbox Off" so people would say the name out loud and turn their console off.
- Was that really a thing? ><
  
  Must have been an Xbox One with Kinect thing.
- Sucks because you had to drink a verification can after saying it.
Good old bash.org vibes.
- Never seen that website before but lost myself reading random pastas there for a while.
  
  Thanks!
  
  I used to check it when it was active and they were adding things to the Top 100-200 quotes, and now I check it for nostalgia. Still makes me laugh all these years later.
- 99% of entries there are faked.
  
  They make me laugh though.
  
  I'd be inclined to agree.... But I've had conversations like these, if not publicly.
  
  This one about not being able to find a machine (http://bash.org/?5273) is relatable if you've ever had to trace cable in a rat's nest of a server closet.
  
  No… That’s not true. That’s impossible!
Chat version of swatting
Ciggy, duh.
